Asus ZenBook 3 review: This MacBook clone is powerful but too faithful to the original

If you like to travel light, compromise is a way of life. We've seen a bounty of ultraportable laptops this year, and everyone of them has had to give at least a little on weight, price, hardware, or build quality.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA

The ZenBook 3 has redefined the Ultrabook, with the lightest and thinnest Intel Core i-powered laptop on the planet. However, as you might expect, the compromises that are made when you shrink a laptop down are notable, but certainly not deal-breakers.

The bottom line: Our quick verdict on the ASUS ZenBook 3

The ZenBook 3 does a decent job of mimicking the MacBook's design while also cramming in faster hardware. But the combination of a hard-to-use keyboard and trackpad, along with build quality concerns, make it difficult to recommend.

Thin and light design comparable to the MacBook ; As fast as other high-end ultraportables ; Vibrant screen ; Comes with a mini-dock for extra ports

Keyboard and trackpad are difficult to use ; Fingerprint sensor placement makes no sense ; Build quality is suspect
